It has been a year since launching our KDE.org.pl site, which has an aspiration to be a real "gate to the world of KDE" in Poland. During the last months, our site received 220 pages and articles, most of them are translations of news, articles and interviews from dot.kde.org and kde.org. We have got 480 photos, artworks and screenshots. In order to reach more people intrested in KDE, our goal is to simplify the language and keep the quality.

We have accompanied Polish KDE users by providing translations of The Road to KDE 4, and now we're keeping on with news on KDE 4. The central items on the agenda are topics like Amarok, KOffice, Education, Akademy or interviews with KDE developers.

History and Contributors

The work, based on the flexible Mediawiki technology, were started a long time before the launch - in early 2007. In February, we have started translations and categorising of the knowledge, sometimes exceeding the contents of English pages.

Over the past months, more people have been joining the Polish KDE Team. Words of appreciation for hard and thorough job especially goes to those who have belonged to the team from the beginning: Paweł Szubert (pbm, unquestioned record in number of translations), Bartosz Kozłowski (joker) and Łukasz Strzępek. Content and language-related corrections are maintained by Jarosław Staniek, who has also customised the KDE Oxygen Mediawiki style for the web site.

Comments

Yes, they didn't repeat some of kde.org's design errors. The side menu on kde.org was a nice design idea, but it always gives me some eye cancer... There is some vertical line/border/contrast/whatever between the menu items and the centered text missing.
